Kurt Vonnegut and Charles Bukowski are good examples.

And of course Faulkner (The Sound and the Fury) and McCarthy (Suttree).

I'm not a big fan of William (he definitely has place in history), but Cormac is best fiction author alive in my lifetime (Steinbeck is best of 20th Century).

The above are all my opinions.
